Product Information
Full details
This Karen Millen maxi dress is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and statement-making garment. Its key benefit lies in its architectural design, featuring dramatic ruffle sleeves and intricate bodice pleating, offering exceptional craftsmanship and a refined, contemporary look. A potential caveat is that its bold design may require minimal accessories to avoid overpowering the silhouette, and its specific sizing (UK 8) means it's best suited for those within that measurement.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Professional dry cleaning can also help remove stubborn wrinkles.
Ruffle sleeves lose their shape.
Ensure the dress is stored properly on a padded hanger. If the ruffles are creased, follow the ironing or steaming instructions carefully.
